Schoffstall tried to learn the content of the 2:30 meeting which took place on Monday between Attorney General Holder and the approximately 70 DOJ attorneys and staff charged with enforcing federal election law over the next two weeks.

At issue is whether it is appropriate for the attorney general to travel to meet with these lawyers, allow them to pose for individual, personalized pictures with him, and give them instructions — all within days of an election when Holder’s own job is on the line.

Holder is a vocal critic of the Bush administration’s alleged “politicization” of the Justice Department Voting Section.

Schoffstall sought to learn the content of Holder’s discussions with the Voting Section staff to determine if he was making statements that could encourage bias in the enforcement of federal election laws to help President Obama’s reelection.

Holder’s instructions and comments to the Voting Section would naturally be seen as “marching orders” to the DOJ staff. For example, many left-wing groups have falsely characterized the activities of Tea Party and conservative groups this election cycle as targeting minorities. Holder’s views and instructions could influence the enforcement of federal election laws in the remaining two weeks and aid President Obama’s reelection.

Schoffstall sought access to Holder’s comments and instructions to these attorneys, but was denied. At the meeting, Voting Section attorneys and staff gave Holder a standing ovation. When Schoffstall afterwards asked Holder whether such a meeting and private photo opportunities were inappropriate, Schoffstall was confronted and intimidated by Holder’s uniformed escort.

Indeed, it is the thuggish way of the Chicago hood.
The two most vile creatures to ever hold higher office in the U.S. are the Radical-in-Chief and his Racialist AG. They are akin to thugs in suits, better suited for twin jail cells, than holding the highest offices in the land.
History will judge all those who protected this regime, and will hold them accountable. I suspect that even if The One loses, the bomblets which will explode, when least expected, will resonate for years.
To be sure, he will create such mayhem before he leaves office that it will take many fire marshals to extinguish the ruins.

They didn’t. You are under the baneful influence of two ideas. The first was a concatenation of assumptions inherited from the conservative, chiefly Democratic, response to Republican policies of the era. These assumptions, the more pernicious for being seldom examined explicitly, included the following: Republicans imposed their war and Reconstruction policies with a contemptuous disregard for constitutional precedent; these policies were a coherent and unified whole, centrally conceived and administered, marching relentlessly by unconstitutional means to unconstitutional ends; Republicans were determined to force and unnatural elevation of blacks and a vindictive repression of whites in the South, putting the bottom rail on top and propping it there with bayonets. These are Democratic talking points still going strong after 140 years.

I suggest getting out of the Dunning School ghetto and read more broadly. Here are just two recommendations.

“Southern Rights: Political Prisoners and the Myth of Confederate Constitutionalism” by Mark E. Neely Jr.
“The Doom of Reconstruction: The Liberal Republicans in the Civil War Era” by Andrew L. Slap

Well, all those attorneys in the DOJ know that if Obama loses they are likely to find themselves looking for work in the Obama economy. Even those who are not political appointees will find a return to ethics and integrity intolerable and likely find themselves facing discipline for what is currently accepted behavior.

But why would anyone be surprised at this behavior. The DOJ facilitated the murder of hundreds of Mexican citizens to gain pretext for a domestic political agenda.

When Obama loses, he will become some sort of Shadow Justice Provocateur….

A New Generation Sharptonesque Rabble Rouser, but with a measure of “credibility” on the issues due to his previous “official” position, hosted and deferred to in the way of an Al Gore or a Jimmy Carter.

His new career is being crafted right now in newsrooms across the country….as an apologist for the riots that will occur…

The inevitable Riots after the Zimmerman acquittal, which will be early in Romneys Presidency.

The Media is right now, preparing the emotional narrative in which That Trial is (was) the election, and the “tragedy” of the “verdict” will be met with nashing teeth and wails of agony and disbelief.

The Obama defeat will be “legal”, but morally it will be treated as an “obvious mistake”

They will apply the same emotional dynamics to the Zimmerman Acquittal. A jury verdict that’s simply “wrong”, just like that election where so many people voted the “wrong” way.

Obama is Trevon…Trevon is Obama…Both were Murdered by Racists, one on the street, the other in the Blogosphere, and the “guilty”, thats is to say Zimmerman AND Romney, have both “walked”…one to the White House, the other to freedom …and these two events together, will be the Gemini of the New Narrative.

Just like how “the Homeless” did not exist as an entity, as a personage, as a cause, until it became Reagans crown of thorns, a New Sinister Dark Age of Fear and Racism will be placed around Romney neck.

It will be will be “too much to bear” for “My People”, and any follow up on Gunwalker will be a cynical ploy to silence the Righteous and Brave Mr. Holder, toast of the Sunday talk shows, Social Analyst Extraordinaire, Speaking Truth to the Oppressive New White Powers

The Meme is already in place, the stories are already written….
The linkage, symbolism….its a done deal.

What would be very interesting in this situation is if the reporter were a former U.S Navy S.E.A.L was the reporter, the situation would have not ended nicely for the bodyguard, the least would have been a broken (something) and it would have been painful as well as embarrassing!

DC is one of the most “policed” places in the nation. At last count, there are at least 32 distinct police agencies with arrest power in the District. No idea which one this clown belonged to, but he was not part of the Metro DC Police. So, the next question is, what is the geographical area of his authority? Most the “police” or “uniformed officers” belonging to the various Cabinet Agencies loose their authority the moment they step off the property they are supposed to be protecting.

Did Schoffstall think to get the name, rank, and serial number, of this credentialed thug?
Well, at least he wasn’t wearing a brown, or black, shirt – though I would suspect a purple t-shirt is in there someplace.

Ooooh, that profile. What a weasel (Holder I mean). And you are absolutely right Leatherneck, it was all ‘ghetto’ like was it not. Thugs will do what thugs do best and as I am sure you know it ain’t got nutin’ ta do wit professionalism.

Any reason? “Now I want you to ignore any intimidation towards a non Obama voter in the polls. Also ignore any campaigning for Obama at the polls. Vigorously files charges for anything you can think of on any Romney supporters.” Totally OK and appropriate.

Technically called “disobeying a police directive”. Worth at least a couple of hours in jail, arraignment on a misdemeanor, and at least a day in front of a judge, or if you’re really unlucky, a barely literate magistrate with little to no legal training. And then you have a criminal record. Rightly or wrongly. Mostly wrongly.

White dude does not know how to dance. He should have stood his ground, not allowed himself to be pressured backwards. He’s physically bigger. Just brace yourself and stand firm. The words mean nothing. It’s all in the body language, in the posturing. Monkey customs.

If Romney wins and riots break out, then racist bigots like the uniformed deviant in the photos will obviously not help in quelling those riots. Actually, I would expect him to participate in the looting and pillage, armed, and maybe even in uniform.

That’s effing scary.
Hitler and Goering did the same thing every time they pulled some horrific act.
The Night of the Long Knives, they took souvenir photos, first. All the cheery, happy, grinning fellows, about to execute their own friends, without mercy; like a fishing trip, only REALLY SICK! In fact, taunting them as stupid while they slaughtered them like sheep.
Keep your powder dry, until Mittens is safely in the White House.
Perhaps even then.
My Wall Street advice: buy lead.
It never goes out of style.
Think: What would George Washington do?
And DO IT!

the next couple of months will be interesting. we have more obamanites down here than anywhere, and believe me, we ain’t worried. quite the opposite.

presidents pardoning x-presidents is what gives these criminals their arrogance. the kenyan has presented some forgeries in order to commit fraud against the American people. he said himself that honest men have nothing to hide.

i figure with all that stimulus $$$ flying here and there (even to foreign places), there is a big pile missing. tax evasion was how the 20′s bad guys finally went down. well, that and bullets. these grifters/gun runners/liars/fraudsters/etc. have broken more laws than can be imagined by any of us. they are pro’s. that’s how we keep this from ever happening again. prison! and if necessary, bullets to uphold our law.

I don’t think I would have responded as nicely as the reporter. I think the security guard would have found out how just how not nice I can be the moment I got pushed. It’s time we push back when our rights are stepped on.

Good idea. I’ve been thinking about why white Americans have NOT banded together to form our own security force. How come the NRA does not help get its 20 million gun owners to form local and regional forces?

Look at some point there is going to be blood. We should be preparing for war to reclaim America from the marxists of any color.

“In 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security issued reports that were highly critical of the Federal Protective Service for relying on low-wage contract personnel to provide security at federal buildings. See GAO-09-0859T and OIG-09-51. Both documented that the contractors lacked the necessary skills or training to handle their duties, which threatened the security of all federal employees and visitors. The GAO report made national headlines in July 2009 as it cited frequent lapses, including failure to prevent investigators from carrying weapons into several key federal installations. It also displayed a photograph of a contract security guard asleep at his guard post”.

Is it a stretch the FPS is STILL incorporating ‘low-wage contract personnel to provide security at federal buildings’ with this recent CAUGHT ON TAPE incident 3 + years later?

Eric Holder’s record is almost unbelievable –the early 2000s Fast & Furious run-thru with Chiquita Banana in Colombia was no little squabble –look it up –a LOT of peasants were killed –Chiquita arming both sides, just like F&F. And when the army came in to stop the land grab, guess who pops up as Consigliari? Makes sense, considering the years of rumors that the Colombia-outbound banana freighters –big blue water ships registered in one of the Pelosi cannery islands of the south Pacific –carry (cough) a little low-bulk high-value contraband.

Covington in 2004 also wrote a crucial opinion letter commissioned by MERS, providing legal justification for its electronic registry. MERS spokeswoman Karmela Lejarde declined to comment on Covington legal work done for MERS.

It isn’t known to what extent if any Covington has continued to represent the banks and other mortgage firms since Holder and Breuer left. Covington declined to respond to questions from Reuters. A Covington spokeswoman said the firm had no comment.

===

The ‘Covington’ is Covington Burling, Eric Holder’s law firm –he is (or was, if his AG job forced a wink wink) a partner. C&B is an established DC law firm, almost exclusively involved in dismantling the USA, and has been a very long while. Part of the defense in the Alger Hiss case –Hiss, Stalin’s agent on FDR’s staff, and the man who at FDR’s fond behest designed the structure of (and became the first USA ambassador to) the United Nations. The boy wonder of America –until a whistleblower (and ex-fellow commie spy) named Whittaker Chambers blew the whistle.

This scandal was media undercovered to the point of hushed up –and so fast almost no voters understand that Holder, in 2004 and between his administration gigs w/ Clinton and Obama, wrote or approved the opinions that were used as pretext to set up the mortgage fraud. It came to settlement quickly, for such a paltry amount i guess the media just got bored and dropped it.

If there’s a space a crime can fill –in the hold of a banana boat running guns one way and dope the other, or in a mortgage custody chain waiting to blindside young householders trying to get a start in life –your Attorney General will be around there, somewhere, like an AG should be –only the person he is supposed to be chasing is himself.

Someday the ghosts of all those toddlers at Waco will catch up to him –if not, then he ain’t human –

Holder is a disgrace to his office, as is the cop who was acting as a bully for Holder. We deserve better, let’s hope enough Americans wake up in time and vote these bastards out and send them back to Chicago.

This must be one of Obama’s personal army. Sean Hannity said that when Obama was out of country he had with him…get ready…it’s almost unbelievable…15.000 bodyguards. Not 1500. You read that correctly.
His own personal army. Sean was noting that out of the vast array of tax funded protectors Obama has escorting him around the world, why could not 12 be spared to protect the US Embassy in Libia on 9/11?

Now if Obama has THAT many with him while traveling, just how many do you think he has in country?

PS, one has to wonder about that website’s ‘look’ –esp that shade of red with the black & white. You’d think that, considering the recent national youth community service organizations such as Hitler Jugend and the Young Pioneers of the USSR, the organization would’ve stayed away from that blood-and-iron ‘look’.

When did these figures start to require entourages? I understand for the POTUS (even this one), VPOTUS, and families, but not abusers like Pelosi, Holder, Boehner (if he has them, I have not seen), etc. It is looking more and more like the ruling class and their foot servants, with we, the ruled standing on the side watching their procession(s). I thought we had left that….
